It is a good 'dupe' however the quality difference is there. The gold is a deep color that looks rich and not like a cheap yellow gold. This takes a bulb with a chandelier base, though the globe is big enough to accommodate most any size bulb.
These are absolutely perfect. All around fantastic. Love them. Would purchase again if needed.
One of my units has intermittent flickering on random parts of the led strings. Material is a cheap aluminum that is easily bent and dented. One was dented and bent inside the box, very flimsy metal.
